A Nairobi based pastor, Gladwell Wanjiku Ndei, has been identified as a person of interest by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

According to a report published by The Standard on October 13, 2019, DCI officers had linked the pastor to a string of robberies that have taken place in the last few weeks.

Investigations into the Ksh6 million Eastleigh heist revealed that one of the police officers involved in the daring robbery called the pastor – Police Constable Caroline Waithera Wairimu, minutes before committing the crime.

The constable based in Kayole Police Station had allegedly called the pastor in pursuit of divine intervention.

“I said a quick prayer for her lasting about 10 minutes before retiring to bed,” pastor Wanjiku stated.

Barely two hours later, gangsters stormed into a lodging in Eastleigh where two men were robbed of Ksh6 million, by people believed to be police officers. 

Interestingly, the pastor – who is reportedly close to constable Wairimu (having prayed for her in the past), was also linked to the Ksh72 million G4S Nairobi heist.

“Is it not strange that this particular pastor seems to be praying for criminal suspects?” an unnamed DCI officer revealed to The Standard.

The officer went on to claim that the pastor was a favourite in the criminal underworld, as she assured them of divine protection from arrest after charging for a  special prayer.

However, on her part, pastor Wanjiku refuted claims that she was part of a grand conspiracy, going on to claim that she did not know that Constable Waithera was a criminal, adding that she indeed knew all three suspects.

“I was shocked to see them on TV being accused of robbery. I had nothing to do with the incident and I also do not offer any special prayers for criminals,” she stated.
